Renata Kaminska

The Polish artist Renata Rara Kaminska, who lives in Germany and Switzerland, has her artistic focus in the fields of drawing, sculpture, weaving and installation. As a politically engaged artist, she is part of various movements and initiatives, such as for the progressive Polish party "Lewica Razem". By studying the printed local press in Polish, German, French and Czech, Kaminska focuses on collective memory and its manifestation in public space, which reflects the main axis of her work. The artist asks, "Who owns the public space and what part of it is actually mine?" This space includes urban squares and streets, but especially the space of information flow and mass communication.
